(Easier) Root Cause Analysis of the Failure

Lazy Sunday..

..is always good for a nice, slow read and today was not an exception. While sipping a cup of coffee I have read an article by Glen Alleman - Root Cause Analysis and had an idea to create ChatGPT bot to provide guidance on finding RCA.

Here I present you SHAO-2. Please let me know about your success or any issues - would be interesting to see if that helps.

There is also a good article on DEV as well: The Importance of Root Cause Analysis.

Bonus:

..not totally unrelated to the topic a method and project management (non existing) software ideas, generated by SHAO-2:
